STARKVILLE, Miss.—Co-ops, internships and full-time careers are among the opportunities Mississippi State students and alumni can explore during the university’s upcoming fall Career Days.

On Tuesday and Wednesday [Sept. 25 and 26] at Humphrey Coliseum on the Starkville campus, the noon-4 p.m. events will feature more than 190 recruiters from around the country.

Both events are free to all academic majors, as well as alumni. Tuesday is designated for all majors, while Wednesday focuses specifically on engineering and technical careers. Business attire is highly recommended, as is bringing along several résumé copies.

Students and alumni can obtain a list upon arrival of employers represented. The Career Center will provide a name tag with the participant’s academic major and class year, so students should ensure their profile on their “Connections” account at www.career.msstate.edu is updated.
